Be part of our team! Please help us watch your children. We are the lifeguards, but you are their lifesavers! In an ongoing effort to ensure guest safety and satisfaction, the Double JJ Resort has partnered with National Aquatics Safety Company (NASCO), a private, outside consulting firm specializing in aquatic risk management. To keep our standards and practices at the highest levels possible, we will typically do a number of drills and skills tests during hours of operation. In addition to this, NASCO will perform three unannounced operational audits per year at each facility, testing them in areas of professionalism, diligence in scanning techniques and rescue skills, as well as their ability to manage an aquatic emergency. If you have any questions regarding our Risk Management Program, please feel free to contact an aquatic manager at 231.894.4444 ext. 4751

Waterpark FAQs

The Gold Rush Waterpark is not directly connected to our hotel rooms right now; however the Thoroughbred Suites are the closest accommodations, and are connected via a covered walkway through the Sundance.

For your convenience, we have a complimentary shuttle bus that provides door-to-door service from all our accommodations to the waterpark (and back again) Just dial “0” to ask for a shuttle bus, or stop at the front desk.

Yes, we rent lockers for a one-day use only, $6 for a large locker or $3 for a small locker, plus a $20 deposit which will be refunded to you when you return the key at the end of the day. We have lockers in our men’s and women’s locker rooms as well outside of the locker rooms for family use. Space is limited though! Please keep in mind that luggage cannot be stored in the lockers. We recommend that you bring a small bag to place your water park necessities in.

We provide Coast Guard approved life jackets at both pools. Our life jackets are free to use, but there are a limited amount. Guests may bring their own life jackets, but they must be Coast Guard approved. No other flotation devices, such as a baby floaty, are not allowed.

Check-in is at 4:00 pm and check-out is at 11:00 am. Guests on packages that include admission to the Gold Rush have full access to the water park on day of arrival and day of departure as long as the Gold Rush is open.

No outside food or beverage will be allowed in the water park. This is not to be confused with food that is sold on the lobby level of the water park. You may certainly order food from Rustler’s Roost (for example) and take it down into the water park to enjoy it.

We recommend, but do not require that footwear be worn in all spaces outside the water park for your safety. Aqua-socks are advisable as our water park floor is coated in a non-slip formula that can irritate sensitive skin. Footwear is required in all of our restaurant establishments.
